Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3

The vehicle in detail

As one of the most raw and unbridled road cars of its day, the 930 Turbo has rightfully earned its place as a legend, yet it is quite rare to find an example as original and unfettered as the one offered here. This exquisite, low-mileage car was completed at Porsche’s Zuffenhausen plant in May of 1978; during the first production year for the 3.3-liter 930. According to the Porsche-issued Certificate of Authenticity, this Turbo appears today essentially as it left the works; built to US-specifications and equipped with electric sunroof, two side mirrors, and finished in classic Grand Prix White over dark brown leather upholstery.

According to the maintenance book, this car was delivered through the legendary Jacksonville, Florida based Porsche dealer, Brumos Porsche, on July 29, 1978. The car appears to have crossed the US shortly after delivery, as records show it was serviced at the Beverly Hills, California Porsche agency in March of 1979, and again at Chuck Iverson Porsche in Newport Beach, California in June of 1979. The car is believed to have remained in California for several decades; it is known to have been owned by a Lompoc, California resident in the 1980s, and was purchased in Southern California by a Texas based enthusiast, prior to being acquired by the vendor.

Today, this highly original 930 presents extremely well throughout, with the odometer showing just 5,824 miles at the time of cataloguing – a remarkably low number, as these robust cars can cover big miles with ease. The interior appears to be original, as do most other finishes throughout the car. Many of the original factory marks and decals are still in place, and what could very well be the original Blaupunkt AM/FM cassette-radio is fitted in the dash. The 930 is offered complete with the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, original air compressor kit and space-saver spare, owner’s and maintenance books, and retains its matching numbers engine.
